Water leaks are more than just an inconvenience; they can cause serious damage to your house and expose you to health risks like mould, rot, and costly repairs.

If you’ve ever noticed stained walls, a musty smell in a room, or dampness on the floor, there’s a good chance you’re dealing with a water leak. The good news is that there are safe, effective, and reliable solutions to repair water leaks.

We’ll take you through a comprehensive easy to easy-to-understand guide to finding solutions for repairing water leaks in the roof, walls, and floors, and introduce you to a quality solution, ADDAGE BONDCOTE – E (ADDCRETE).

What is a water leak, and how do they happen?

When water intrudes into your house through cracks, gaps, or porous surfaces, we call it a water leak. Water can enter your home through rain, faulty plumbing, or even rising ground water levels. Frequently, we find:

• cracks in concrete or roof tiles.
• gaps around windows and doors.
• drips from leaking pipes located in walls or floors.
• poorly applied or missing waterproof coatings or membranes.
• Poor drainage can cause rising dampness.

Each section of your home requires solutions geared towards targeted remediation for water leaks in the basic areas of your home: roof, walls, and floors.

Water Leakage Solutions for Roofs

Common Roof Leakage Problems

Cracked Roof Slabs/Tiles: Cracks allow rainwater to enter building components

Roof Gutters: Excess water is flowing from unblocked gutters, soaking the roof structures

Flat / There is no slope: water cannot run off, leading to stagnant water

Damaged Flashing: areas close to vents and chimneys are water entry points for moisture

Broken Waterproof Membranes: older generation materials lose their ability to act as a barrier

Effective Solutions for Roof Leaks/Crack Seal: Move quickly. Sealants, PU-based waterproof coatings, and similar liquid products have their limits and longevity and could perform for weeks, months, or years. Select a sealant brand/product that has been time-tested.

Gutter Cleaning: Clear debris from gutters regularly.

Temporary Tarpaulin Covers: tarp when you have an emergency

Routine inspections of the roof: inspect and log all roof conditions annually before the rainy season – doing this eliminates unwanted large leaks.

Use the correct pitch on the roof slope: pitch the roof so water drains and does not pool

Apply appropriate Waterproof Coatings: pick good waterproofing products that will provide a lasting solution, and hope you never have water leaking ever again.

Water Leak Solutions for Walls

Common Wall Leakage Problems:

Wall Cracking: The cracking enables water seepage in walls, creating damp patches on interior wall surfaces inside homes as well as exterior walls.

Condensation: Water may build up as a result of warming your home from indoor humidity. Water condenses on cooler wall surfaces.

Loose Columns or door seals for windows: Water is leaking through the gaps.

Rising Damp: this is moisture rising up from the ground, travelling upwards to form leaks through a cavity in walls, walls allows similar problems.

One other note – if your walls show white, chalky powder, that is efflorescence, resulting from salts laid down as moisture evaporates.

Proven Solutions

Seal All Apparent Cracks: Use sealants or grouts to seal gaps.

Increase ventilation: Use exhaust fans or open some windows to dissipate moisture.

Weatherstripping: Install sealing material around windows and doors.

Repair drainage: angle water away from your structure’s foundation below grade.

Install damp-proof membranes: they eliminate rising moisture.

Install temporary plastic barriers: This is an option during extreme emergencies.

Water Leakage Solutions for Floors

Floor Leakage Problems

1) Cracked Concrete: This is often the problem in bathrooms and balconies.

2) Rising Damp: Moisture from below surface through to upper floors.

3) Water leakage from pipes: plumbing can exist behind millwork and can go unnoticed and cause lofty damage.

4) Improper initial waterproofing: generally overlooked during construction

Quick Solutions

1) Waterproof coating under the tiling: Add a liquid membrane or sheet membrane at the bottom of the tiles.

2) Temporary barriers: floor mats or sealing tapes.

3) Regular checking of pipes: Catching the problem early leads to money savings.

4) Proper drainage: make sure that the floors slope directly all near surface water toward drains.
